The following sample generates C4623.

// C4623.cpp  
// compile with: /W4  
#pragma warning(default : 4623)  
class B {  
   B();  
};  
  
class C {  
public:  
   C();  
};  
  
class D : public B {};   // C4623 - to fix, make B's constructor public  
class E : public C {};   // OK - class C constructor is public  
  
int main() {  
   // D d;  will cause an error  
}
